On: GitHub Raises $250M at $2B Valuation

[tptacek]

If you build a machine that reliably turns $1.00 into $1.10, your next moves are (a) try to turn the next dollar into $1.15 and (b) find as many new dollars as you can to feed the machine.

Why not just loop the dollar through and live comfortably on the surplus?

More money > less money?

Don't look at me. We didn't raise VC either. Nor will we, until I take off this "WWMCD" bracelet.

I'm pretty sure he'd go to Antarctica.

Starfighter should take funding, open up a local antarctic branch and hire Maciej as the office manager.

[simplyluke → idlewords]

Because looping $250m through gives you a lot more surplus to live off of. If we're talking in terms of investment/compound interest, a larger principal is obviously desirable

This is assuming that there is no such thing as market saturation or diminishing returns :)
